Slashdot Mirror
Slashback: Galeon, Forgent, Platformation
Who said what now? bratgrrl writes "eWeek's "Red Hat: Next Redmond?"article was quietly and without comment altered- they deleted the crucial "Red Hat backlash" quote from the original article. No retraction, no explanation, just an Orwellian revision. Thank goodness for Google, which cached the original article.
I suspect the original quote never happened."
Because not everyone needs Chatzilla. Mozilla gets a lot of attention around here -- after all, it is the giant lizard of the open source browser world. But to the question "What about Galeon?", Nachtjäger writes: "The answer: LOTS is happening to Galeon. Given the length of time since the last release, we decided to write up an update on how things are going on Galeon2. Check it out here"
I hope certain aspects of Galeon (tab-name shortening and color coding, for two) are soon rolled back into Mozilla.
OK, now you can have it. Esekla writes "Slashdot did an article about the announcement of Kylix 3 (the first Kylix to support C++ code), but at the time it was not actually available for download. Now both Open and Enterprise Trial editions finally can be downloaded."
Now you can assemble your yard-sale cluster. Speaking of things now really available, BJH writes: "The site featured in last week's Dreamcast BBA story is now accepting orders! The good news is, they're only $US80 each. The bad news is, they're not accepting orders from outside Japan ;) (If there's enough interest, perhaps someone could be convinced to do a bulk buy and ship to people overseas...)"
Anyone who offers something interesting enough in trade can have my Dreamcast for mucking about ;)
When you trace things back far enough ... Dennis writes: "Although Chris has a valid point about the catch 22 between Win2K, SP3 and HIPAA, his example is not accurate because medical records that are related to students are protected by FERPA regulations and not by HIPAA. Here's a reference link with more info."
The fat ladies are still warming up. john82 writes "With all the hoopla still swirling about MP3s, there is fresh information in the JPEG saga. Dateline Berlin: Algovision-Luratech GmbH says that Forgent's patent claim (4,698,672) is all wet. Technical experts have laid out the technical and legal arguments against the claim. And they intend to air the dirty laundry at a meeting Sept 4. The announcement by Forgent earlier this year caused quite a stir here. Wonder if Sony can get their money back?"
Of especial interest to iBook owners. Earlier this month, Slashdot posted the news that rather than wiping your Mac's OS to put on a GNU/Linux system, you could order Yellow Dog Linux preinstalled on Apple hardware. Ray Sanders of Qli Tech Linux Computers writes: "We also are selling Apple Systems with Linux installed, however, Terrasoft is only installing Yellow Dog Linux, we offer Gentoo PPC, Debian PPC, Mandrake PPC, and SuSE PPC. We also have full working sound and video on the iBook and Powerbook with XFree86, whereas YDL Does not yet support the mobile Radeon chipset found on those two units."
Competition is good.
Concerned about your karma? Do drinking and posting mix well for you? // .sig // Pool Hall + Drunk = Spillard
hey bud I have been looking at your posting history, and you are one of the biggest idiots I have ever seen! do you think typing in "elitespeak" is cool? Are you like 35 years old with no life or something? or a 14 year old? What ever you are its annoying and you need to staple your hands to your ass so you cant type any more. Please shut up, I really really mean it, you need to shut up, your a huge loser, I have never seen a loser like you before. I know you are looking for people to flame you but really this needs to be said. Why do you talk in elitespeach? its soooo old and gay. It said that you took the time to learn it! Why did you even register with slashdot and post your lame comments?
I bet you dont even know what bsd or linux is. I bet you sit at home all day and play games on your windows xp system. And your little friends come over and play grand theft auto 3. please please dont ever post something in "elite speach" again. its so lame. or "L4m3r" as you put it... ugg
Please go into your kitchen and pick up a knife and take your worthless life. because thats how worthless you are. I wonder what made you so lame? Maybe it was your mom not breast-feeding you or something. Or your mom had bad milk... Who knows!
You really really need a life.
Have a good day loser.
